I can see the Trump administration unfolding like a police hostage drama. Trump: Dammit I'm in charge Musk: Not anymore you're not

I just watched The Family Stone tonight. I enjoy that movie. I think people liking or hating that movie depends on who's side you're on but that's for the movie thread, which is perfectly named.

That was everything I needed. Randy hasn't released a video since the election and I kept wondering how he was. Ugh for real. I've been called names on both ends. I was expressing my disappointment about the Democrats who didn't vote and got down voted to oblivion by "both siders."

And their base will buy it hook, line and sinker.

I'm doing the Twelve Days of Christmas Movies (started 12/13). So far I've gone with a mixed bag of classics, unseen ones and one I don't usually do. In order so far I've done: Red One, The Bishop's Wife, The Holiday, Miracle on 34th Street, Christmas with the Kranks and White Christmas. Die Hard is tonight's movie. The Titans (It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Elf) will be the Final Four.

I've been doing corny Christmas movies. Tonight is Die Hard night. Start documenting. We should all start documenting this shit.

I mean...you all have roughly the amount of people as California and the Democrats could use 54 more electoral votes 🧐

Right. I remember reading an article about an influx of female diagnoses in the adult years because symptoms don't manifest in the same way with girls as boys and the boy symptoms are the standard for textbook diagnosis (because of course it is). And while "luminaries" like Abby Schreier and Jonathan Haight want to say we're being over diagnosed and blame everything on tech and "gentle parenting", people (mostly women) still go undiagnosed because of outdated criteria on what the spectrum is and where one lands. I wish my insurance covered it because I am most definitely undiagnosed but can't find out right now. Not to mention most mental health experts in my area are booked solid months out.

Watched this a few nights ago and enjoyed it. It probably won't be Elf levels of Christmas Classic. I would likely file it with Fred Claus on Christmas movies worth revisiting, but not every year. Still enjoyed the Lethal Weapon meets The Santa Clause approach (with a splash of Ant Man). Chris Evans was easily the best part of the movie, he seemed to have a blast with this role. Second place goes to Kristofer Hivju, who ran away with it as Krampus. I just wish it didn't feel like Dwayne Johnson was in every other film I'm so fatigued of the guy. I'm glad Lucy Liu got some badass fighting moments wish we'd gotten more of her.

I don't really like using a likeability factor with potential candidates because it only seems to matter when you're female but she has a major likeability issue and she would fare worse than both Clinton and Harris did. FUCKING HELL! Yeah let's further alienate the bases that continually get fucked by Republican policies and still vote for us even though, quite frankly, our side really hasn't done much to deserve their votes. Don't stray away from woke politics, LEAN IN to these policies. Double down, don't abandon at risk minorities and LGBTQIA+ groups that have absolutely no support from the Republican side all because you need to pander to those centrist white voters who need to feel special. The DNC needs a full sweep top/down. I feel like I need to write a very pointed letter saying why going in this direction is very wrong and shouldn't be done just because the elitist pundits say so.

People have been trying to convince others for years that media was liberal run and owned but I've never been convinced. All the in major news units have always had that slight conservative slant (even MSNBC has their conservative outputs). And now with corporations buying up news outlets and pretty much dictating how they can or can't tell the news, social media outragists don't have a leg to stand on when they accuse the news of liberal bias because it's not there. The sanewashing is atrocious but not surprising.

I agree but you can also say the same thing about FDR and he's usually ranked in the top tier of presidents. My controversial opinion is that I'm not sure if the Civil Rights Act gets pushed as hard as it does if JFK has lived since LBJ was a staunch pusher of domestic policy over JFKs emphasis on foreign policy.

It's a small price to pay in order to own us libs. 🙄I just wish I didn't actually feel so owned as of late.

Yeah if Mitch McConnell is the standard for standing up to the incoming administration then I'm not impressed. He's likely retiring soon anyway. Including a former president for crying out loud.

Macron: to recap the week my government got ousted and now I have to hold this fuckers hand. Yep not going down as one of the better weeks. If I were him, the moment Trump let go I would be yelling Adrian Monk style "WIPE, WIPE!!!"
